I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Try Everything Milk Tea Has Gone Viral!

Before Su Yang could say anything, Li Runze said, “It’s so slim! Is it even 3 mm thick? Where’s the battery? What about the camera? Is the touch screen adaptive?”

Su Yang held Deeny tightly in his hand, feeling nervous. ‘Uh…what should I say?’

If it had been Qu Xiaomeng or Qu Xuan, Su Yang would have been confident enough to bluff his way through. He could even escape unscathed from Chu Xia because he could make her believe such technology existed.

However, the person who asked the questions was none other than Li Runze, Mr. Smart Guy.

‘He’s not someone who will fall for my bluff…If I’m not careful, he will notice something and he will surely fire a barrage of questions to shatter my lies…I’ll be in deep sh*t then…’

Although Su Yang did not answer, Li Runze did not say a word either. However, the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

After being tortured by the awkwardness for a while, Su Yang conceded. He tried his best to rearrange his words and said, “A friend gave it to me to test. It’s his company’s prototype. I don’t know anything about it either.”

Li Runze said, “Can you give me your friend’s contact? I want to find out more. If I can get an internship there, that will be great.”

A little pause later, he continued, “I have a feeling that your friend’s company is working with state-of-the-art technology and it might be ahead of the current technology level by 30 years.”

What else could Su Yang say? He blinked and said awkwardly, “Okay, I’ll talk to him.”

Li Runze nodded. “Thanks.”

Su Yang heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly put Deeny back into his pocket.

‘Geez, Li Runze really makes me nervous. He might have already seen through something at first glance.

‘Speaking of which, Deeny might be a phone with human-level intellect but she’s still physically a phone. If she’s torn apart and studied, some of the super-advanced technology that isn’t part of her mind might be replicated. Then, the world might really see a 30-year boost in the smartphone industry.’

However, the thought of tearing Deeny apart pulled Su Yang back to reality.

‘No way! She’s my cutest pet! I’ll never let anyone tear her apart!’

At the thought of it, Li Runze took his phone out and showed Su Yang something. “Have a look at this.”

Curious, Su Yang took the phone and saw a familiar video playing: it was the new ‘Monster Family’ video that Deeny posted last night.

‘Huh? Is the video that popular? It’s not even 24 hours, and even Li Runze has noticed it? But…what is he trying to do by showing me this?’

Su Yang looked at Li Runze who said with a blank look, “Do you want to grab a cup of milk tea in the afternoon?”

‘What the heck? Why does that sound so strange? Two guys drinking milk tea together? Shouldn’t guys drink Coke or Redbull instead of milk tea?!’

Su Yang shook his head. “Sorry, I’ll have to take a raincheck. My treat next time.”

Li Runze nodded.

Su Yang then curiously asked, “Are you on TikTok?”

Li Runze nodded. “Sometimes. Just to relax.”

‘Wow, Even Mr. Smart Guy feels tired at times?’

Su Yang believed that Li Runze really concealed himself well. He looked like some arrogant straight-A student from the outside, but on the inside, he spent his time on Tiktok and BiliBili.

Su Yang would not be surprised if he met Li Runze in Mobile Legend one day.

‘He might be Mr. Smart Guy on the outside, but he’s an otaku inside!’

The two of them chatted for a while before Li Runze looked at the time and decided to leave. Before he left, he even reminded Su Yang to ask his friend about the company internship and the next milk tea ‘date’.

‘Geez. He’s really a simple guy. I simply said take a raincheck and he thought it was a promise…’

Fortunately, Su Yang found such a guy interesting. At least, Li Runze was simple and honest.

A while later, class started with the bell and Old Zhou stepping into the lecture hall.

Old Zhou had combed his hair forward today, covering half of his bald head. He was also wearing a fitting suit that made him look fashionable.

Su Yang looked at his own T-shirt and short pants. He somehow felt sad about his outfit.

‘I look like a 40-year-old man more than Old Zhou does!’

Old Zhou delivered the lecture animatedly today. As he spoke, he wrote all the notes on the board and looked extra energetic when he moved. He looked like someone who had just experienced something happy.

During the break, Old Zhou took a sip of water from his Thermos flask and saw Su Yang when he looked up. He said, “Su Yang, did you bring your book today?”

Su Yang was shocked. ‘Sh*t! He remembered?’

He said nervously, “Yes, sir.”

“Let me have a look,” said Old Zhou.

‘What? Must you be so strict, Old Zhou?!’

Even though Su Yang knew being strict was one of the ways the lecturer cared for his student, he did not like it at all.

“Okay, Mr. Zhou,” said Su Yang. He took his phone out and quickly typed a message to Deeny: [Deeny! Transfer the book out!]

Right after he pressed send, the camera fired out a green beam and the Modern History Essentials of Huaxia, which was the [Negative Condition Book] in cover, appeared on the table.

‘This will have to do for now.’

He walked to the podium with the book in his hand.

Old Zhou nodded when he saw the book in Su Yang’s hand. “Not bad. You finally remembered to bring your textbook.”

Su Yang smiled. “Of course, sir, I bear your words in my heart.”

Old Zhou accepted the flattery honorably. He smiled and drank some water before he said, “Show it to me. I want to see the notes that you’ve taken.”

‘What? What’s there to see?! This is the Negative Condition Book, sir! Are you sure you want to see it!?’

Su Yang did not hand the book over as he said, “Mr. Zhou, but I didn’t write the notes down in the textbook.’

“Oh? Okay, fine. Just pay attention in class,” said Old Zhou. He had just smoothly avoided being sick without even knowing it.

Su Yang heaved a sigh of relief after he went back to his seat. ‘Phew! That was close.’

At the thought of that, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, “Mr. President, are you free this afternoon?”

Su Yang looked up and turned around to the origin of the voice. His eyes were almost blinded by the bright presence of…Qu Xuan.

As though he had installed some man-made sun on himself, the brightness made him look handsome at all times. “If you are free, do you want to have a cup of milk tea together?”

‘What? What is wrong with people today? Why is everyone asking me out for milk tea?!’

Qu Xuan said, “There’s a milk tea shop named ‘Try Everything’ outside the east gate of the campus. It went viral online and gained overnight popularity, so a lot of people are queuing up for a cup.

“There’s also a saying that has been circulating around lately: if you aren’t queueing up for ‘Try Everything Milk Tea’ together, you aren’t my friend. So…I want to invite you to go together.”

Su Yang said, “No, thank you. I don’t like milk tea.”

Qu Xuan shrugged. “Okay, I don’t like milk tea either.” He then whispered, “But I feel like I don’t have friends since I can’t get anyone to go line up with me.”

‘Now, I see what’s happening.’

At the thought of it, Qu Xuan simply grabbed the [Negative Condition Book] that Su Yang had placed on his table, “Oh, you guys are studying this too? Isn’t it boring?”

Su Yang tried to stop him. “No! Don’t open it!”

However, he was too late. Right after Qu Xuan uttered the first word, the book was already opened. Qu Xuan looked at Su Yang with a confused look. “What’s wrong?”

‘Oh, whatever!’

Su Yang awkwardly smiled. “N-nothing. It’s a new book, so I haven’t written anything about it. It’s a little embarrassing.”

‘Since you’ve already opened it, there’s no saving you anymore.’

Qu Xuan nodded with a grunt. He flipped through the book, closed it, and put it back on the table, “Okay, Mr. President. I’ll be leaving now. There’s still training today, Sigh. It’s so troublesome.”

Su Yang smiled, “You will be free from the trouble very soon.”

Qu Xuan shot him a confused look.
